Ahh man sry for the late reply but been busy with work and tired...

how are ya? I dont know what to focus right now on the game. Wanted to do somethings with nreeding but it seem my dittos dont work lolol I should read some stuff about it seems. Im doing some runs on elite 4 for money and lvlup.

Whenever I give that response, I'm afraid it feels fake. I'm legitimately sorry that something happened, but I just can't drive the emotion needed behind that statement.

It would be one difficult story to plot out. Just trying to think of what could go in, what would trigger the flashbacks, how not to overwhelm the reader. Yikes!

Yup, sounds about right. I wonder what you're supposed to feel, haha.

And this plot keeps getting more and more complicated the more we talk about it.

This one customer at work started telling me about his daughter that died in a car accident a few years ago, and I was completely stuck and didn't know what to say. I didn't exactly feel sympathy, so it was definitely awkward.

My mind was going to where he was a murderer in the past, but he gets into a car wreck. He slowly recovers, and lives life as a normal person, but the flashbacks eventually get to him. At first he doesn't know what's going on, but the flashbacks eventually piece together the last murder he committed before the wreck. The final flashback is of him actually killing his victim, and once he comes back to reality, he realizes that while the flashback was happening, he was killing another person in real life. The story would then end with his arrest shortly following.


But then your idea sounds cool, too.

hey! wasnt sure if my message sent. please let me know, thanks ^_^

I like to get up and move while I work, so roaming around to read the sticky notes works out really well for me. Although I do keep a notebook full of ideas to keep me organized as well.

Yeah, I can't deal with other people's problems as well. I hate it when someone talks about something terrible that happened to them because I don't know how to react. If I go by my emotions, or lack thereof, then that won't do anyone any good. I just kind of awkwardly give your standard sad response and hope the subject changes quickly.

I just thought of a story about a guy who was recently in an accident, and suffered from amnesia. He goes on from what he thinks is his daily life from there, but he keeps having flashbacks when he touches certain objects. He then learns, as he has more and more flashbacks, that his earlier life was nothing like his current life. I like my dark fiction, so maybe the previous life could be some sort of criminal lifestyle or something. That's the idea that immediately popped up in my head.

Yeah I did went down with da flu xD

Oh you play wow aswell? Nice! Which Server?

I've been trying to get soklme good Dittos to start learning about breeding hehe I have one question.

only the females pass down the nature or theres a chance both can?

Oh, it's up there to help me get organized. They're set up in groups and patterns to expand on ideas, create character charts, and list out the events of the story.

Not really. I've just accepted it at this point, and it lets me be more level headed in discussions with a down to Earth approach, so I like the benefits.

Okay, so I can't relate to that, haha. It seems pretty cool though. Maybe you can write a book about that, because with a few twists, it could be pretty interesting.

Whoever made it did a very good job, that's all I know.

I have a bunch of sticky-notes on the walls of my room, haha.

And I haven't felt one or the other for a very long time. But hey, maybe someday.

Hmm... well, you're able to sort out the information and use it to your advantage. You don't need imagination to be creative. It helps, but it's not completely necessary. What's necessary for writing is being creative. As long as you can write an interesting story, you're creative in my books.

Well, it's not really an open space either. The arena has very few dead ends, so you can wander around pretty much anywhere and not have to turn around, so that's what I was getting at. There are still walls, halls, and the like, but each hall has enough room to pass someone without too much effort on either side.

Yeah, my strength comes with fleshing out ideas and getting them ready for an audience. I struggle with getting it down on paper. I absolutely love planning out a story, but I'll procrastinate for a long while on the actual writing, haha.

Believe it or not, I know where you're coming from. Not to that extreme, but I do think I have a much smaller case of what you're experiencing. I don't really feel a full range of emotions, with love and hate being two that I just can't seem to get a grip on, so my emotional spectrum is quite limited. I can't handle large crowds, and I miss out on a lot of sleep. So, I do know a little bit of what you're going through. These symptoms are more prone to people with creative minds, so writing isn't bad at all.

Oh yeah, I've had games where I only ran into my friends once or twice. There aren't any traps, but there are plenty of mirrors, holes, and grated floors that you can shoot through. I guess they want the focus to be on the other people. Given it's a pretty open space though, traps would be kind of difficult to play out.

Well, it can't be that hard to figure out. I want to write! I think it would be pretty dang cool to work as a script writer for a movie company, or something of the like. I seem to work best bouncing my ideas off of other people, so that group environment could really work for me.

That sounds pretty cool! I've always been fascinated with space too. The shows on the science channel like Through the Wormhole were some of my favorite tv shows. It's probably why I like sci-fi too. What kind of circumstances, if I may ask?

I think the time is still thirty minutes. It's not three complete stories, but kind of like two towers that rise on either side with an area connecting them. But rather than two towers, it's tiered so the second one is larger than the third floor. It's pretty expansive and the two bases aren't mirrors of each other, so it'll take more than a few trips inside to start memorizing the layout. Despite this, it's surprisingly easy to exit once the game is over.

Passion? Well, I guess I see it now. Being a barista is fun and everything, but it's definitely not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I just want to make sure that people get the best possible coffee for their money. To give out anything else would be a shame.

Our laser tag arena is this massive three story setup. They really did a good job of building it because there are some spots that can be easily held onto by a team, but you can also be flushed out of them if you're not careful. I was never too good at laser tag, but the people that usually win are the little kids that kids behind their dad the entire time because everyone shoots the dad instead, haha.

Probably! And like I said, it's probably easier than it looks, but there are a few details you have to keep in mind. Like how you have to put the espresso shot into the drink as soon as it's ready because it'll turn bitter very quickly if you're not careful. Even when someone orders just the espresso shot, I have to put in a little hot water just to keep the shot from turning. The term is called "saving the shot", and it's actually kind of hard for some people to pick up on. Once you develop a system though, it's very easy.

It's a big city that feels like a small town, so it's actually a pretty cool place to live. Plus we have the largest laser tag arena in the country, so that's cool too, haha.

Heyho duderino! Whats good? How's your journey on Alpha Sapphire?

I've been sick the whore weekend geez...

Well, the only part that you have to measure is the flavoring. Other than that, there's pretty much a set amount of espresso you pour in, and you just fill the cup with milk/water/cream/whatever. After a while, you just know how much flavoring to put in. Although I might be putting in a bit too much, but hey, people aren't complaining, haha.

And I'd rather not give out the town where I live, but it's decently big with lots of small coffee stands around.

I like being a barista, at least. It gets a little difficult when you're first learning it, but once you learn the basics, there's not much too it. Even the most detailed and specific drinks are more tedious than difficult. I don't even like coffee, and I've been told that I make the best frappuccinos in town. And everything else I make is good too, haha.

It's a sweet blend of spices. It still has some caffeine, but without the bitter aftertaste of coffee. I don't like coffee because of that aftertaste, which is quite ironic considering I work as a barista, haha.

And it's no trouble at all! I'm just happy to help.

Well, I drink chai tea in the morning. Less caffeine, but no migraines for me.

Hopefully that fixes everything, but if something pops up, don't be afraid to message me. It's why I'm here!

Good work on that story :D

Wow, reading through what I wrote earlier, I should stop answering questions when I first wake up, haha.

Yes, you are correct. What I was trying to say is that questions that require people to first read the story belong with the story, and in the main FF&W area. Questions that are asking for general writing advice belong in the lounge. There are probably exceptions to this, but this is just a rough overview.

I read through your first post, and I think I found the problem. With the way it's currently worded, it seems like you have absolutely no idea how to continue the story at all, and whatever people reply with, you'll do. It's not that strong, but it's an underlying message. If you don't want this, then I would give an example of a current idea you have, and then ask for feedback on that.

I think Phantom also worded that a little too strongly. What I think she was trying to go for was more like you can ask for opinions and feedback all day long, but ultimately, it's going to be you that has to make a final decision. Or she could just be talking about how she thought you were asking the audience on how to continue and she wants to see you come up with the events yourself.
